“I am Woman”
By: Jennifer (Sumayah) Fayed
I don’t need your remorse or sympathy
I don’t have any regret or care on
How society views me.
I am no longer a statistic
A toy for men to play with
I know what I am worth
I am beautiful just the way God made me
I am a woman who is precious
Not something to be fixed, sliced,
Cut up and made to entice
Since when does beauty only matter?
I was raised and taught that
Your mind is what flatters.
I am sick… I am tired…
Women are being abused all around
I feel like I’m gonna drown!
Set me free from this despair!
Oh my God I swear!
Free the people’s errs
Why can’t they understand women?
We are valuable precious beings
We deserve to be treasured, appreciated
And loved to a degree that lifts us
From all the afflictions that we see!
Then maybe somehow we can agree
That I am a woman and I have dignity!

“Deceptive Dunya”
By:Jennifer (Sumayah) Fayed
We fight and we strive
We do our best to survive
All the calamities that we see
We do nothing but plea
What have we done in His Name?
Nothing, ourselves only to blame!
We take little responsibility
For our reckless activityOur Ummah is weak
Only in vain do we speak
We preach to others to be righteous,
Conceal our devious actions,
Fulfilling our own satisfactions,
Consumed by mundane distractions.
The guidance of Allah we ask for
The door to His mercy
Our heart implores.
We prostrate to the floor
In humble worship
Hoping his forgiveness is in store
The glad tidings of jannah we await
But…Wait…
We wake and realize
That this is the last day
Oh my… what will I say?
We see ourselves being gathered
In our minds we ponder
What did we do for Allah?
We were only concerned with our desires
Taking account that we were liars
Oh No…
No time to negotiate!!!
Oh No it is my turn!!!
“Oh Allah, I ask Thee
For Thou Rahma…
Let me be among those….
That smells the fragrance of Thy sweet abode
Which Thou has bestowed…
For the ones who reflect and know
And worship Thee alone”.
Our plea is useless and then He will ask
What have you done for Thy sake?”
For your benefit and mine
I hope at least an atoms weight!
For now it is just too late!

“The Qur’an”
By: Jennifer (Sumayah) Fayed
It was an amazement that I cannot explain the words so true definitely not manmade each ayah I read I knew in my heart that Allah (swt) so High had revealed every part, the Qur’an is a guide that should not be denied if you do not read you will be left behind.
It will help us achieve the life of the hereafter for eternity in jannah will bring us laughter.
So when the month of Ramadan is near
Don’t forget to read this book which is so dear. In it are vital lessons that will determine our succession as Muslims in this life and the day we will be questioned.
So why not take it and read it without hesitation. For in it is the key for our success as a nation.
Al-Qur’an it is called the words of my beloved Creator Every ayah, and surah made only by Him no one is greater No one but He, his name is Allah no partners has He, the One only true God.

“Confrontation”
By: Jennifer (Sumayah) Fayed
My loving husband
How are you?
Do you see?
Do you see me?
I need you!
Not only as my supporter but
As my partner in this life.
Don’t you see I am your wife!
You are always claiming I crave attention
But all I aim is for your affection.
Do you love me as a person?
Or do you see me as your
Social obligation?
My loving wife
How are you?
Do you see me?
Or are you caught up with just you?
I work and provide the best I can and all I get are un-reaching demands.
I married you to be my spouse not a
Greedy, ravenous louse.
You think that this dunya is what matters
But let me tell you honey, it seems that all you crave is money on that silver platter.
So when you ask for my affection make sure
That you know your intention for all I see is a woman who has become a social obligation.

“To Prejudice”
By: Jennifer (Sumayah)Fayed
You think you got the best of them
Telling them how and what to think
You’re a disease spreading like a
Dough with yeast!
I suffer everyday because of you
In the train, on the street even at
The park by Bleeker Street.
I hate what you have done
You have damaged and killed
Many dreams, you have swept
Many lives from the beginning
Of time.
You don’t got me and you never
Will I just hope that the others will
To prevail!
You definitely have a place in history
And I assure you that your lies and
Conjectures will end permanently!
You may die today or tomorrow
And only you alone will be in sorrow
You think you got the best of them
But you will see; soon it will end
And we will have victory.
